Effect

While using the Soulthread, gain access to a new downtime action, only available during long rests: Threadwalking. Two to three players can choose to use this action to enter a shared dream. Work together with the GM to describe the experience of a shared dream. Afterwards, PCs using this downtime action roll their Duality Dice. The PCs gain 1 Hope for each time their Hope Die rolls higher than the Fear Die or it is a Critical Success. Additionally, on a Critical Success, each PC gains an extra Experience (+2) of their choosing that reflects the events of the shared dream. This Experience only lasts for as long as the PCs are traveling together. Each PC can only ever gain one extra Experience by using the Soulthread.

About this item

Dreams are precious things. In it, we can simultaneously be at our strongest and our weakest. Yet, we nurture and revere them as they let us see our deepest feelings and ambitions. They show us worlds our waking minds will never be able to create or even achieve, yet we hold on tight because they give us Hope of what could be. Even if we will never be able to make them come true, the act of dreaming is an Experience in itself, fueling our very being.
If we dare to share these experiences with others, bonds for life might be created.

These are the beliefs of the (in)famous Oneiromancer Belle Dare. She wove this dream catcher and infused it with her magics in hopes that it would bring people together. Unfortunately, this is the only one to ever exist. Before she could create other ones, she was attacked and killed by a company of arcanophobic knights, hunting down magic-users in their duchy. During the raid, the Soulthread got lost as well as the knowledge about its magic.
